• So for Dr. Seuss' 100th birthday, I thought I might put some musique du jour on my 'blog here. But I couldn't come up with any good ideas for which song to use.

  Then iTunes' shuffle play hit on it: 'Helicopter,' from XTC, 1979. This is from their album 'Drums and Wires,' during the time when the music press was calling them the punk Beatles.

  It's appropriate for Dr. Seuss Day, because it's a context which can contain the lines: "She's a laughing giggly whirlybird/She's got to be obscene to be ob-heard"
